Seed

conducted an experiment in which we created a habitat in which plants grown; We will determine if the plants will grow successfully in this habitat. We will plant “Wisconsin Fast Plant”seeds, also known as (Brassica Rapa). The Wisconsin Fast Plants are a small, fragile sized plant that has a short growing period and produces seeds at a high density. We will observe them as frequently as possible and record the heights each day we make observations. At the end of the experiment we should be able…

In addition to the lawsuits from “seed saving” with compliant GM farmers, farmers with no association with Monsanto are also losing out. Many organic farms are losing billions of dollars because they are being contaminated by GM pollen and seeds, through no fault of their own. Each time an organic farm is contaminated; the farm loses their prestigious title and has to deal with Monsanto lawsuits, because of their patented seeds. Organic food is in very high demand right now; many people are on…

Seed Treatment: The pathogens which survive in the soil debris and serve as a source of primary inoculum for root diseases can be potentially managed by using fungicide as seed treatment to minimize root rot severity and thus increasing the yield. Though it is little expensive way of controlling these pathogens but they are economical if compared with the yield losses occurred due to root rots. Several reports indicated fungicide use as seed treatment can be one of the…

Gymnosperms are the naked bearing seeds (e.g conifers, cyadas etc.) that thrived as the climate dried, differentiating them from bryophytes and non-vascular seedless plants. In the late Mesozoic era, around 140 million years ago, angiosperms began to replace gymnosperms in certain ecosystems. Angiosperms are seeds of flowering and fruit-bearing plants and have a intricate life cycle. Within the diploid megasporangium of each…

Importance of the study of the Vedas: Study of the Vedas is essential, along with other factors, for the attainment of God’ One who labors in the study of works other than the Vedas gets Shuudratva with family. “It means the study of the Vedas has the supreme importance.” Though the period of life to study is the Brahmacharya Ashrama (stage of celibacy and student life) yet even after entering the family life, there should be no slackness in the study of the Vedas. When the students used to…

characteristics of a seed can be crossbred and allows the outcome to have the strong genes of both parent’s and is able to reproduce at a higher rate. For example, “Mendel crossed a plant that produces a round seed with a plant which produces a curving, Y-shaped seed, and in each and every one of the resulting plants the seeds were round. In the next generation, however, in which only these round hybrid seeds were planted, 5,474 plants matured bearing round seeds, while 1,850 matured bearing…

The yield of seed per hectare per year is about 5 to 12 tons depend on the climactic conditions and soil characteristics. The tree has a productive life of approximately 30 years. The oil content in seeds is about 30-35 % which could be converted easily in oil by using the process of transesterification. Research suggests that there are certain edible variants…

donations and assistance in crop production with the use of the genetically altered seed. Advocacy groups constantly press Monsanto’s reputation with criticism of the product and the effects on health and the environment. The CEO redirected this criticism to decrease concern by placing the genetic seed from the consumer’s dinner plate to the animals that consumed the feed that was grown using the genetically altered seed. Constant strategy surrounds the question of safety to our health and to…

Following seasonal reports about disease occurrences from county Extension agronomists is also a helpful practice. Seed treatments. Using the correct fungicide seed treatment and rate is a good starting point to provide effective and economical disease control in soybean production. Seed treatments protect soybean seed and young soybean plants from diseases and other threats to plant health and yield. Variety selection. No soybean variety is completely resistant to…

Question: Do Snow Green pea plants grow faster in a mixture of 25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, or in 75% potting soil and 25% compost? Hypothesis: If Snow Green pea plants are grown, starting from seeds in three different ratios of soil to compost (25% potting soil and 75% compost, in 50% potting soil and 50% compost, and in 75% potting soil and 25% compost) then the peas that were in the 75% potting soil and 25% compost soil will grow the fastest.…
